It's a by possession efficiency system so your games against bottom feeders can also impact things.

KP says for example that Northernn Iowa is 167 and Indiana St is 194 and Washington is 172 and Washington St is 198.  And if Wichita St beats those two teams (Northern Iowa and Indiana St)  by much more than UCLA does (Agaisnt Washington and Washington St), it will view Wichita St is the better team.  And that has to be the reason.

It two teams are equal (say UCLA and Arizona), and UCLA wins by 2 points, our natural instinct is to shoot UCLA up the rankings.   But in KP if the 2 teams are about the same, and one team barely won, it will have little impact on either team's rankings.

I think it's a good system, but at the same time it has its limitations which you need to consider, one of which is that it doesn't rank teams by Win/Loss record, and it doesn't value big games as much as we typically value big games.    I get info from the system but like any system you have to know it's weaknesses and know when to take make too large assumptions off of it.
